Better To Hate Poem by Kwame Sarfo Aboagye

It’s better to hate than to love
For love matures and is called evil
Even though it comes to us from above

More benign is a raging lion than a veiled dove
An enemy, lovelier than a lover deceitful
It’s better to hate than to love

The prime motive of love is to shove
The very people whose trust it’s won
Even though it comes to us from above

To our hearts hatred is a clove
And its aroma brings much pleasure
It’s better to hate than to love

Love boils delusions; like a stove
It boils delusions and burns emotions
Even though it comes to us from above

After all is said and done
You die alone; you die as one
It’s better to hate than to love
Even though it comes to us from above
